Well hello! It has been a while, hasn't it. I hope the first half of summer has been good to you. It has been good to me, though in the most ironic and twisted ways possible. All I can say is I'm grateful I know rational, patient, compassionate persons who are understanding, and aren't too quick to write things off. I had a few quiet moments over the long weekend, of which I used to take care of my latest batch of kombucha (which had gone super vinegary with neglect), sewed a few more patches on a new old jean jacket (affectionally dubbed "Le Tigre" by friends) and listened to lots of music while making little changes at home. The rest of June beforehand was actually extremely exciting - caught up with many many old friends, cooked and dined amazingly with my best girl J, got a slew of new responsibilities at work, and generally felt the most like myself in those few weeks than I had felt in an entire year.
So even though the end of June felt like a gigantic riptide, the kind that thrashes you around without mercy or warning, I made it out! I couldn't have done it without a few special, precious people though. Amidst the confusion, panic and despair I incredulously realized how blessed I was to have the support of these people. So apart from learning a few lessons about myself and others in relationships, I really was able to see how much beauty there is in the world.
